"Thanks, Mrs. Barricks please come again" Uryu said as he handed his customer her bag.

Meanwhile Ururu was sweeping on the other side of the shop. Over the summer, Uryu had gotten a job at The Urahara Shop in hopes to get his own cell

phone. It worked out really well because Urahara was down two people. Tessai had stayed in soul society for the first month to help Ikkaku get Plumbfield

ready for the next year. He was also staying there while a few minor repairs were done. Koga, who normally would have done it, had joined a crew on a

ship and would be there till mid September. Jinta, of course, had died that past December.

"Hey" Ichigo said walking in with Orihime.

"Hi guys" Uryu said.

"I'm here to pick up some ingredients for my soup" Orihime said grabbing the oddest mixture of things.

"Who eats soup in the summer?" Uryu said.

Ichigo blushed, considering he was Orihime's boyfriend he knew he would be forced to taste it and like it.

"Oh, by the way I was told to invite both of you to the mall tonight." He said to the two workers.

"Yuzu said I had to invite a friend this time, something about girl talk" He whispered to Uryu while rolling his eyes.

"Oh, have you heard from Chad?" Ururu asked leaning on her broom.

"Yeah, actually he called me this morning, he says he's having a lot of fun in Mexico with his family." Ichigo said.

Chad had gone to Mexico that summer. Not only did he get to see his family, but him, Bobby and Nat were having a competition on who could have the

most interesting summer.


The mall was a lot of fun. After eating in the food court the girls split-up. Yuzu told Ururu all about her date in soul society while the two looked for a gift

for Urahara's birthday.

"I think this would be a very good gift," Yuzu said picking out a nice pen.

"It could be but I was going to get him a planner, he needs one." Ururu said.

"That's true, he seems to be very busy this summer." Yuzu said.

"He is, it's like he's trying to be both a human and a soul reaper. He is training Ichigo a lot along with other soul reapers." Ururu said while looking at planners.

"Yeah, and my dad said him and Kisuke are doing a lot when it comes to the B3." Yuzu said.

The B3 was the local better business bureau that Kisuke, Lisa, Isshin and Ryukken were a part of.

"I don't think I'd ever want my own business, it seems too stressful," She added and Ururu shook her head in agreement.

"So, we're still on for Saturday" Ichigo said before they all went their own seperate ways that evening.

"Yep, Surprise party for Urahara this Saturday evening" Ururu said.
